Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Forms the base for a fluffy texture.
  • 1 cup Sugar Adds sweetness to enhance the flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder Helps the bars rise and stay light.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Balances sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 3 Eggs Provide structure and richness.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Keeps the batter moist and tender.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract Adds depth to overall flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Pink food coloring For vibrant visual appeal.
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes Infuses a delightful coconut flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, combining until just mixed.
  5. Fold in the coconut flakes and pink food coloring to achieve an even pink hue.
Cooking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out evenly.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Once the bars are completely cooled, slice them into squares or rectangles to serve.
  2. For an extra touch, sprinkle additional coconut flakes on top if desired.
  3. Serve at room temperature or chilled for a refreshing treat.

Notes

For best results, ensure accurate flour measurement, cool completely before slicing, and consider variations like toasting coconut flakes or adding chocolate chips.
